I lucked out because both of the assisting surgeons are gynecologist. So I won't have to do any other referrals I just have to get approval for the procedure and its 100% covered. I have to pay around 5000 for the bypass though as long everything goes well.

That sucks! I guess it's not a common request. I am only the 2nd person to ask my surgeon to do it. Since there will be a gynecologist assisting him in surgery he said it'll be easy to do instead of me having 2 surgeries. How many kids do you have?

Wow! 21 to 2! Mine are 17 to 5. I've always been over weight too. My smallest weight was 155 but I starved myself and worked out excessively. It lasted about 2 years then I went back up. My biggest was 314 but I'm 294 now. I can't wait to have my surgery so I can be a.healthy 155. It's amazing how fast you lost your weight. If you don't mind me asking' date=' did ypu end up with loose skin?[/quote']

I have loose skin but I'm pretty pleased on how its snapping back. My arms actually look amazing and I think they were my biggest fear. I didn't want flaps. Buy hey we all know it comes with territory right. I work my arms out like cRaZy daily.

Now my tummy.. I have a lil come-lap and that will not be going away no matter what I do. I will say tho... My lil $5 panty gurtle from Target will take it away for the day. LOL

The more weight and exercise I do the flatter the done-lap fold becomes. But yep.. its there.

Now my inner legs have I think what is called as tags. It's obvious that my snap back ain't snapping back there. My inner theighs droop a little... But I'm okay with it. My Dr said to allow myself a full 2 years to lose weight, tone and let the skin shrink back as much as possible before I start thinking the negative. If I get a chance ill take some pics and inbox them to you. LOL

Lmbo @ lil come- lap. I've started working on my trouble spots. I'm really worried about my arms, tummy and back fat. You look amazing! You must share your workout routine or do you mix it up? I hear that mixing it up works well.

I'm planning on buying some compression garments to help it along the way. Moisture is supposed to help elasticity. I use shea butter and olive oil on my skin now. Do you have any suggestions?

I have the inner thigh issue too but I'm as worried about it because it's not going nowhere no time soon. lol.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
